I’ve been adding lots of stories I’ve been reading to the Bookbabble Twitter feed, so if you’ve not subscribed to it yet, go to twitter.com/Bookbabbleshow and do it now!

Also, there’s some activity brewing over at the Goodreads Bookbabble group. You can add books to the Bookbabble bookshelf there, and books that we cover on the show will be added to the bookshelf as well, so that if there are any discussions you can spawn it there.

Go ahead and check it out, please let us know any feedback if you have any.

Lars finally returns from outer space after many years. And just in time, too, for Renee and Donny’s take of the smash hit Fifty Shades of Grey. And ‘smash hit’ as in being thoroughly smashed to bits, that is. Also, a quick on on JK Rowling’s new book, and a spot of badminton.

We’ve now moved to our new webhost, and to commemorate the change, I’ve changed the look and feel for the site. Over the coming weeks we’ll hopefully start filling this place up with, you know, actual content.

Let us know how you like it.

Sorry for the long, cold, drought of sound and laughter from Bookbabble-land. We are still around, and have most recently recorded an episode just last Sunday. Due to work commitments, the post-production work on the podcast has been delayed.

I wanted to make an announcement – we’re going to be moving web hosts pretty soon. I’m consolidating to a single hosting provider, and take will make managing the site easier for me (background stuff, don’t worry about it). What you need to know, however, is there should be no impact to you at all – everything else will still work as it always had been (well, too bad the post-production for episodes are still on my lap, and not on the web host’s).

When will this move take place? Before the year is out.

In any event, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Holidays!
